Lot Essay

'It's all about connection. It's one word after another, with Emin... Give her words, she'll write them backwards and forwards; she'll send them off in all directions; she'll work them into everything; she'll put them where you least expect. She'll make you wonder what they mean; she'll show you they're right and they're wrong. She'll take them to pieces then sew them back together again. She'll light them up.'

(A. Smith, 'Emin's Emendations', Tracey Emin: Love is What You Want, exh. cat., Hayward Gallery, London 2011, p. 30).
